I was quite happy with the music. Except for one number, all the music lived up to the hype. There was beat, melody, timing, screenplay and most importantly the music stirred something in the heart. Maybe the surinder sani in us was waken.

The music is awesome.it leaves u spellbounded &ur simply lost in world of dreams The sound of 'santoor' at the very beginning of 'Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai' attracts one's attention right away since you immediately get the feel of a Veer Zaara outing. A simple outing that has an out and out Indian feel to it; 'Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai' starts off well but just doesn't pick up enough, courtesy the choice of singer. Seriously, instead of Roop Kumar Rathod being entrusted with the responsibility of a track which is the flagship number of RNBDJ, if a singer like Udit Narayan or Sonu Niigaam or K.K. would have been the chosen one, the song could well have gone to a different level altogether. In the end, it turns out to be a more than decent number which certainly could have been much better. Also, it doesn't quite turn out to be the kind which deserves to appear at the very beginning of the album. Female version of the song, a much slower one, comes towards the album's end and has Shreya Ghoshal at the helm. A 100 second piece, it is a slower version and a sad one at that. Purely situational. A slightly better number comes in the form of 'Haule Haule', a number which carries the flavor of Aaja Nachle soundtrack both in terms of middle-class setting and the overall simplicity of sound design. Rendered by Sukhwinder Singh who is subdued rather than being typically full throated, 'Haule Haule' is a situational track which is already on air and is being noticed for the way the bespectacled Shah Rukh Khan brings in all his experience while comfortably dancing around in his middle class clothing. The number has melody as its driving force. Would 'Dance Pe Chance' turn out to be that number which would make RNBDJ soundtrack special? This is what one wonders when this track sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Labh Janjua arrives next. However, to one's disappointment, 'Dance Pe Chance' has an ordinary orchestra and arrangements that pull the song back. Preset keyboard sound seems to be driving this 'dance number' that is mainly a Sunidhi Chauhan track with an element of Punjabi being thrown in, courtesy Labh Janjua. A song where a plain and simple Shah Rukh Khan seems to be going through dance classes, 'Dance Pe Chance' is a number where Salim-Sulaiman haven't done anything special and just followed the sound they have already brought to the audience in films like Neal N Nikki. A four minute remix version 'Dancing Jodi' marks an end to the album and is marginally better due to all the pep and rhythm thrown in. Also, it includes references to 'Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai' and 'Haule Haule'. 'Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte' is a kind of number which (on screen) could turn out to be good on screen, purely on the basis of how Aditya Chopra gets some fun rolling on the screen. This one is clearly an experiment in the making since it amalgamates numerous lyrics and tunes from the yesteryear and mixes them together to create a 'bhelpuri' of sorts. So whether it is 'Jab Pyaar Kisi Se Hota Hai', 'Pal Bhar Ke Liye Koyi Hamein Pyaar Kar Le' or 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke' or 'O Haseena Zulfon Waali' or 'Jai Jai Shiv Shankar' - the number includes them all and many more with Sonu Nigam singing as if he is a part of a concert where he has to pay a homage to all the greats from the past. As a standalone number, 'Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte' just doesn't stand a chance and certainly not the kind which would be solely responsible for the sales of the album. There were four questions that were raised at the beginning of the review. This is what one has to say after hearing the entire album: a) The music is decent but not huge enough to befit a project which marks the return of Aditya Chopra as a director b) Aditya Chopra has been responsible for far better romantic outings, most recently being Bachna Ae Haseeno c) The music will sell well but touching the numbers of Om Shanti Om would be feasible only if the movie turns out to be an excellent fare with a sustained presence at the box office d) It seems highly improbable that the songs would remain rooted for years at stretch in the hearts of music buffs who expect nothing but the best from a project as huge and important as RNBDJ. However, what needs to be remembered is that Aditya Chopra has been one of the pioneers when it comes to song picturisation. How can one forget songs like 'Ho Gaya Hai Tujhko To Pyaar Sajna'/'Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye' [DDLJ] or 'Chalte Chalte'/'Soni Soni' [Mohabbatein] which were not the flagship numbers of the respective films ('Tujhe Dekha' and 'Humko Humi Se Churalo' were) but still turned out to be widely popular. The same can be ultimately expected from RNBJD, if response to just-on-air 'Haule Haule' is any indication. If the remaining songs too come close to 'Haule Haule' in the way they are picturised, rest assured RNBJD too would do well. Add to it the curiosity around SRK and Aditya Chopra coming together and the album can be expected to take a flying start at the stands. adding to this all is beaty of anushka who acts as well as she look.

Salim-Sulaiman try to live up to the standards of music Jatin-Lalit left for Adi Chopra's films and boy, they don't disappoint. RNBDJ is a good listen from Haule Haule to Dance Pe Chance with the exception of Dancing Jodi. But the thing is only Roop Kuamar Rathod's Tujh Me Rab Dikhta Hai is perfect. <P> SO Haule Haule gets this started with Sukhwinder SIngh behind the mike. Haule Haule is a good effort by Salim-Sulaiman at something different as it is mainly Tabla in the BG. Haule Haule totally rocks, but is not perfect. 4.5/5 <P>The Tujh Me Rab Dikhta Hai's combined are not so good. Shreya Ghoshal's version has poor lyrics too. But Roop Kumar Rathod's one is simply inch-perfect for any fan of Romantic songs. <P> Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte has old sort of lyrics and can live upto the expectations for a while, so it's not the best of songs. SOnu Niggaam renders his voice well for this weirdish song. <P> Finally Dance Pe Chance by Sunidhi Chauhan isn't the best of Dance tracks but can stay in your playlists for quite a while, so it's worth around 10 listens and not the best of them too. <P> Salim-Sulaimans RNBDJ is quite good with the pick of the lot being Tujh Me Rab Dikhta Hai and the worst being Dancing Jodi. It can be expected to scale to the Top 5, no doubt. 2 Thumbs up for S-S's RNBDJ!
